Invitae RCV000797570 SCV000937133 uncertain significance TWIST1-related craniosynostosis; Saethre-Chotzen syndrome 2021-06-02 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. This variant disrupts the p.Arg110 amino acid residue in TWIST1. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been observed in individuals with TWIST1-related conditions (Invitae), suggesting that it is a clinically significant residue. As a result, variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be causative of disease. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site, but this prediction has not been confirmed by published transcriptional studies. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be disruptive, but these predictions have not been confirmed by published functional studies and their clinical significance is uncertain. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with TWIST1-related conditions. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change replaces arginine with tryptophan at codon 110 of the TWIST1 protein (p.Arg110Trp). The arginine residue is highly conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between arginine and tryptophan.
